Project of the Week: The Lodge Dining Center at the University of Montana Campus Dining is thoughtfully designed to bring the community together, this space is more than a dining hall—it’s a gathering place that honors Montana’s spirit and natural beauty. With a capacity to double the meal service output, The Lodge is already enriching campus life, providing a warm, welcoming environment for students, faculty, and staff alike.

We are thrilled to share that James Baldwin Elementary School has won the A4LE 2024 James D. MacConnell Award! This recognition celebrates the inclusive and collaborative planning process that brought the community’s shared values and culture to life in a space that inspires and fosters a sense of belonging for students, staff, and families. The school serves a diverse student population, including those experiencing homelessness and trauma, with calming, light-filled spaces and outdoor learning areas that support academic and emotional well-being. A special thank you to Seattle Public Schools for their commitment to creating the best possible outcomes for this school and its community. We extend our deepest gratitude to our project team, whose dedication and hard work made this school truly exceptional: Lydig Construction , Coughlin Porter Lundeen , Hargis Engineers , Fora Landscape Architects , and The Greenbusch Group. We also congratulate Mahlum and SMMA the two finalists for this year’s award. It’s a privilege to be recognized among such exemplary projects focused on enhancing community and education.
